Johnson told the paper he believes the injury occurred after his first quarter sack of Florida State Heisman Trophy candidate Jameis Winston.

"After that, it just went blank," Johnson said Thursday night when he was contacted by The Daily Orange. "They said I celebrated, played another play after that, but I don't remember."

Johnson was listed as out on SU's weekly injury report because of an upper-body injury.

A true freshman defensive end, he has developed into a key reserve on the Syracuse defensive line. He made a lunging interception off a pass he deflected to himself in a 13-0 victory against Wake Forest on Nov. 2.
